Only the new owners of the CSRX and Mr. Jeffrey, owner of the NH Central RR, know if there will be
a "huge storage bill" to keep the Dome at the NHCR HQ for the next three months or so. I believe
that the previous CSRX management had a good relationship with the NHCR and it would appear
that the new ownership CSRX management continued that relationship, such as loaning the 1751
to the NHCR for freight service.
At any rate, the cost of a derailment with major damage to a locomotive and/or the Dome car itself
and even a single major personal injury would quickly surpass any storage bill. Since the State of NH
owns the Mountain Division, I would suggest consulting with the NH Fish & Game Division, who is the
agency responsible for rescue operations, along with the local fire departments along the line, as to
the danger and possible consequences of retrieving the Dome at this time. In fact, the State would
be prudent to prohibit the move until April at least.
